HOWO Truck Filters Guide

HOWO at a Glance

HOWO is the best-known truck brand of Sinotruk (China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, CNHTC), headquartered in Jinan, Shandong. HOWO trucks are widely exported and are common in construction, mining, logistics, and bulk transport in many countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Because so many HOWO trucks are in service worldwide, HOWO filters are among the most frequently requested Chinese truck filters in the aftermarket.

HOWO Engines and Why They Matter for Filters

HOWO filter numbers depend more on the engine than on the cab. The same truck model has been sold with several engines and emission standards, so identifying the engine first saves a great deal of guesswork.

Common HOWO Filter Numbers

While exact filter part numbers depend on the specific engine, emission standard, and build, the following numbers appear frequently in HOWO maintenance:

Oil Filters

• VG61000070005 – A very widely used HOWO oil filter, also associated with Weichai 61000070005 and listed for Shacman, FAW and Weichai engines
• VG1540070007 – Oil filter listed for HOWO Euro 3 trucks and also for FAW J6 trucks from 2014, matching FAW 1012010-81DF and 1012010-81DM
• 080V05504-6096 – Oil filter element with O-ring listed for Sinotruk MC11 and MC13 engines
• WIX WL10407 – Long-life oil filter listed for the Sinotruk D12 engine as well as Weichai WP12 and WP13

Fuel Filters

• VG1540080110 – Spin-on fuel filter for HOWO A7, cross-referenced to Hengst H565WDK (210 mm tall, 1-14 UNF-2B thread)
• VG1560080012 – Fuel filter for the WD615 engine, listed with Mann WK 962/7 as a cross-reference
• VG1540080311 – Another widely ordered HOWO fuel filter
• 1000422384 – Weichai fuel filter also used on WD615 and WP-series engines in HOWO trucks

Air Filters

• WG9719190001 (K3046) – HOWO air filter element
• WG9725190102 – Air filter for WD615.47 and WD615.69 engines
• 2841 air filter – A widely used HOWO air filter size, with matching plastic air filter housing WG9725190200 (also listed as FAW 1109010-362)

Other Filters

• WG9925561039 – Urea pump filter element for MC11 and MC13 engines, listed for HOWO T5G and Sitrak C7H trucks

These numbers are useful references when identifying the correct replacement. Always confirm the exact filter by engine model, emission standard, or existing filter part number when possible.

HOWO Filter Maintenance

Oil filters. Replace the oil filter with every oil change. HOWO trucks working in quarries, mines, and construction sites run at high load for long hours, so using a quality filter with the correct bypass setting is critical.

Fuel filters. Diesel quality varies widely between markets, and water and sediment are common. Replace fuel filters on schedule, drain the water separator regularly, and prime the system after replacement.

Air filters. Dust is the main enemy on construction and mining routes. Check the air filter restriction regularly and replace the element early in dusty conditions. Some Sinotruk trucks use oil-bath air cleaners, which also need regular cleaning and oil changes.

SCR trucks. Trucks with MC11 or MC13 engines and SCR aftertreatment have an additional urea pump filter that also needs replacement on schedule, otherwise urea dosing problems can occur.

Service intervals depend on the engine model, emission standard, oil specification, fuel quality, road and load conditions, and the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. Always follow the schedule for your specific vehicle.

How to Identify the Correct HOWO Filter

• Start with the engine model on the engine data plate, such as WD615.47, WP10, WP12, or MC11.
• Note the emission standard (Euro 2, Euro 3, Euro 4 or Euro 5), since it changes the fuel and aftertreatment filters.
• Record the truck model (HOWO, HOWO A7, T5G, Sitrak) and production year.
• Compare the old filter's number, height, diameter, and thread against the replacement, or send a photo for cross-checking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What oil filter does a HOWO WD615 truck use? Catalogs commonly list VG61000070005 for HOWO WD615 applications, and VG1540070007 for HOWO Euro 3 trucks. Verify by engine model and year.

What is the HOWO 2841 air filter? It is a commonly used air filter element size on HOWO trucks, with a matching housing listed as WG9725190200. The 2841 housing is also listed for some FAW trucks, but fit must be confirmed by dimensions.

Do HOWO and Weichai filters overlap? Often yes. Many HOWO trucks use Weichai engines, so Weichai filter numbers such as 1000422384 and 61000070005 appear on HOWO trucks too.

Can aftermarket filters be used on HOWO trucks? Yes, if they meet or exceed the original specification for efficiency, flow, and pressure rating. Check dimensions and threads carefully, since several similar-looking filters exist.

For fleets, importers, and distributors sourcing replacement filters for HOWO trucks, ADAOER Filter manufactures fuel, oil, air, hydraulic, and cabin filters for trucks, buses, and heavy machinery, and supports OEM/ODM development for custom specifications.

Brand names and part numbers are used for identification and compatibility reference only. Sinotruk, CNHTC, HOWO, Weichai, Baudouin, FAW, Jiefang, Shacman, Mann, WIX, Hengst, Donaldson, Baldwin, and Fleetguard are trademarks of their respective owners. Part numbers vary by engine model, emission standard, and production date, so always verify the correct filter against the engine model and the existing filter before ordering.
